x=2

10-2(2x+1)=4(x-2)

10-4x-2=4x-8

10-2=8x-8

8=8x-8

16=8x

2=x

Answer:

X = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \: First, solve \: the \: brackets.$

$\sf \: 10 - 2(2x + 1) = 4(x - 2) \\ \sf10 - 4x - 2 = 4x - 8 \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\sf \: Combine \: like \: terms .$

$\sf8 - 4x = 4x - 8$

$\sf \: Subtract \: 4x \: from \: both \: sides \: to \: remove \: 4x.$

$\sf \: 8 - 4x - 4x = 4x - 8 - 4x \\ \sf8 - 8x = - 8$

$\sf \: Subtract \: 8 \: from \: both \: sides \: to \: remove \: 8.$

$\sf8 - 8 - 8x = - 8 - 8 \\ \sf - 8x = - 16$

$\sf \: Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: -8.$

$\sf \: x = 2$

The ratio of pencils to erasers is 4:1. If there are 20 pencils, how many erasers are there.

Leokris [45]

Answer: 5 Erasers

Step-by-step explanation: It's quite simple, really. You divide 20 by 4, (the number of pencils and the ratio number) and then you multiply whatever the quotient was by the ratio number for erasers.

K is the midpoint of PQ, P has

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Coordinates of Q $(x_2,y_2) \:are\: \mathbf{(7,16)}$

Option D is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

K is the midpoint of PQ

Coordinates of P = (-9,-4)

Coordinates of K = (-1,6)

We need to find coordinates of Q $(x_2,y_2)$

We will use the formula of midpoint: $Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

We are given midpoint K and $x_1,y_1$ the coordinates of P we need to find $x_2,y_2$ the coordinates of Q.

$Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\(-1,6)=(\frac{-9+x_2}{2},\frac{-4+y_2}{2})\\$

Now, we can write

$-1=\frac{-9+x_2}{2}, 6=\frac{-4+y_2}{2}\\Simplifying:\\-2=-9+x_2\:,\: 12=-4+y_2\\-2+9=x_2\:,\: 12+4=+y_2\\x_2=7\:,\:y_2=16$

So, we get coordinates of Q $(x_2,y_2) \:are\: \mathbf{(7,16)}$

Option D is correct option.
